(a) A shipment of 120 fasteners that contains 4 defective fasteners was sent to a manufacturing plant. The quality-control manag

er at the manufacturing plant randomly selects 5 fasters and inspects them. What is the probability that exactly 1 fastener is defective? (b) The Energy Information Administration (EIA) sampled 900 retail gasoline outlets and reported that, the national average gasoline price for regular-grade gasoline to be $4.113 per gallon with a standard deviation of $0.11 per gallon. Construct a 95% Confidence Interval for mean price of regular-grade gasoline price.

Answer:

a)  Probability that exactly 1 fastener is defective, P(X = 1) = 0.144

b) Confidence interval for mean price, CI = [4.1058, 4.1202]

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Total number of fasteners = 120

Number of defective fasteners = 4

Probability of selecting a defective fastener, p = 4/120

p = 0.033

Probability of selecting an undefective fastener, q = 1 - p

q = 1 - 0.033

q = 0.967

5 fasteners were randomly selected, n =5

Probability that exactly one fastener is defective:

P(X =r) = (nCr) p^r q^{n-r}\\P(X =1) = (5C1) 0.033^1 0.967^{5-1}\\P(X =1) = 0.144

b) Number of gasoline outlets sampled, n = 900

Average gasoline price, \bar{x} = 4.113

Standard deviation, \sigma = 0.11

Confidence Level, CL = 95% = 0.95

Significance level, \alpha = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

\alpha/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

From the standard normal table, z_{\alpha/2} = z_{0.025} = 1.96

error margin can be calculated as follows:

e_{margin} = z_{\alpha/2} * \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } \\e_{margin} = 1.96 * \frac{0.11}{\sqrt{900} }\\e_{margin} = 0.0072

The confidence interval will be given as:

CI = \bar{x} \pm e_{margin}  \\CI = 4.113 \pm 0.0072\\CI = [(4.113-0.0072), (4.113+0.0072)]\\CI = [4.1058, 4.1202]

Answer:

  (7√6)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The side ratios in these special triangles are ...

  30°-60°-90° triangle: 1 : √3 : 2

  45°-45°-90° triangle: 1 : 1 : √2

This tells you the length of the horizontal line is 7√3, and the value of x is ...

  (7√3)/√2 = (7√6)/2

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Call the length of the horizontal line "y". Then the given ratios tell you ...

  7 : y = 1 : √3   ⇒   y/7 = √3/1   ⇒   y = 7√3

and

  x : y = 1 : √2   ⇒   x/y = 1/√2   ⇒   x = y/√2

When we rationalize the denominator, we get ...

  x = (y√2)/2 = ((7√3)√2)/2 = (7√6)/2

HELPZ. Find value of x and all the measures of all angel
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: x = 40

have: ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 180°

⇔ x + 6 + x + 4 + x +10 + x = 180°

⇔ 4x + 20 = 180

⇔ x = (180 - 20)/4

⇔ x = 160/4 = 40
